2.1 Equations of Motion

The semiclassical model predicts how the electron's position and wave vector change with time between two collisions under external fields. This description is possible from the knowledge of the band structure given by the functions $\epsilon_{n}(\vec{k})$. In the semiclassical model the functions $\epsilon_{n}(\vec{k})$ are known and the main goal is to relate the band structure to the kinetic properties.
